Instead of a bounce back game from New York Jets' embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez, the running game stole the show on Sunday in Jacksonville. Gang Green's backfield duo of Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell combined for 155 yards on 39 carries including two rushing touchdowns.
With Sanchez under center the Jets' passing attack showed no sign of life as the offense was held scoreless at halftime for the fourth time this year.
New York's coaching staff took the ball out of Sanchez's hands and fed Jacksonville a steady diet of ground and pound offense in the second half. The Jets enjoyed their most prolific rushing performance since tallying 252 rushing yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.
Powell reached career-highs in rushing attempts and rushing yards and for the fourth straight game tallied a touchdown. While the Jets' ground game is surging of late, Sanchez did very little to make his case as the franchise's signal-caller; finishing the day 12 of 19 for just 114 yards and zero touchdowns.
Sanchez committed his 20th turnover of the season, fumbling in the second quarter after a hit delivered by Jaguars' defensive end Jason Babin.
New York overcame yet another sub-par outing from Sanchez who failed to score a touchdown for the fourth time this season. Rex Ryan's defensive unit carried the day and after holding the Arizona Cardinals to 0 for 15 on third downs last week, Gang Green limited Jacksonville to just 2 for 16 in third down efficiency.
The Jets kept a glimmer of playoff hope alive with a win Sunday as they now find themselves just one-game back of the final Wildcard spot in the AFC playoff picture. While the Jets pursue an unlikely playoff berth, they'll need better play from their struggling quarterback if they aim to remain in contention down the stretch of the regular season.
Gang Green travels to the Music City to take on Chris Johnson and the Tennessee Titans next week on Monday Night Football.

The East Ridge City Council voted to give all city employees a one-time bonus Thursday night, even though the move will set the city up to start the new fiscal year with a $100,000 deficit.
Councilman Denny Manning proposed the bonus, which will give a $600 one-time payment to full-time employees and a $500 one-time payment to part-time employees.
Councilman Marc Gravitt, Vice Mayor Jim Bethune and Manning voted in favor of the bonus. Mayor Brent Lambert and Larry Sewell voted against the bonuses.
The bonus will cost the city about $100,000, budget manager Diane Qualls said during the meeting. Because the raise wasn't budgeted for, the lump-sum payment will put the city into a deficit, City Manager Tim Gobble said.
"We will go into June with a $100,000 deficit in our budget," he told the council. "We will have to make that up."
The money for the bonus will come out of the city's general fund, which will fluctuate as the budget year ends, depending on the revenues the city collects. The city may -- or may not -- be able to cover the extra $100,000, he said.
One major expense the city still needs to collect is $1.4 million to pay for the city's sanitation program. Much of the money has not yet been collected -- but it should come in as residents pay their taxes, Qualls said.
Lambert said he voted against the bonus because he would rather address the issue when the new city budget is created in the spring.
"I'm in favor of giving the employees a raise, but I do think it would be a wiser course of action to wait a few months," he said.
Manning said he wanted to make sure the city employees received some sort of bonus and didn't want to wait until the new budget was created.

AUSTIN -- The City of Austin estimates SXSW generates about $167 million. Some business owners say, while they love the event and realize its economic importance to the city, they just wish they could turn a profit instead of taking a loss.
"I read there was a New Yorkers guide to SXSW," said Ruth England, the owner of Rogue Running. "They said, 'Go to the East side. It is the hot place in town.' I was like, 'No, not the East side! Please go somewhere else.'"
Rouge Running specializes in running shoes and apparel. You would think she would love all the foot traffic around her shop on 5th and San Marcos streets.
"Not foot traffic for people who do what we do," said England. "They are here to party. They are here to smoke. They are here to drink. They are here to listen to music. They are not here to buy running shoes."
England says as SXSW continues to grow, so do the number of street closures which have set up a roadblock to her profits. She says she is now forced to close her shop for five days every year at this time.
"Right now I am looking at $15,000 in lost revenue," said England.
England says in the past she tried to remain open.
"I think our best day one year was a $100," said England. "That is a pair of shoes. That was a lot less than what it cost to have the lights on and have the employees stay and everything else that goes with it."
"I think there are a lot of businesses like this," said Lee Valleley, the owner of Redbird Pilates and Fitness.
Valleley's business is also located on 5th and San Marcos streets. It is also another business that has been forced to close up shop during this week of SXSW.
"It became an inconvenience for our client base, and they were not able to get here," said Valleley. "I think we are kind of a little bit of the silent minority right now. We just want to collaborate with the city to help us lease out our studio. We have a beautiful studio for events or a venue. We would like the city to work with us."

Excerpt from a radio address given by Dr.R.C.Wallace (DO 131/47)
You can drag the image around to explore it.
Before the Government supported plan was put into operation, children were being received in Canada under purely private auspices. Parents overseas sent them to their relatives or friends here. University families received children from university families in Great Britain. So too, the medical fraternity, the engineers, the Rotarians, and other fraternaties stretched the hand of friendship across the sea. The fortitude and confidence of the people of Britain during these weeks of constant peril will live in history. The children who are with us are the sons and daughters of the men and women who are showing a spirit which fills our hearts with pride and gratitude. What we can do for these young people is small indeed when weighed against what their parents are doing for us. That service Canada is doing with a full heart.

git: How to forget a recorded resolution
If you recorded a bad fix for a conflict, you can tell git to forget that bad resolution:
git rerere forget your_file.rb
Afterwards, the badly resolved file will still be in your working directory. To get it back with confict markers, say:
git checkout -m your_file.rb
Resolve the conflict again, properly now. ;)
How to: Use git bisect to find bugs and regressions
Git allows you to do a binary search across commits to hunt down the commit that introduced a bug.
Given you are currently on your branch's HEAD that is not working as expected, an example workflow could be:
git bisect start # Start bisecting
git bisect bad # Tag the revision you are currently on (HEAD) as bad. You could also pass a commit's SHA1 like below:
git bisect good abcdef12345678 # Give the SHA1 of any commit that was wor...

To delete a local branch

When you get the error ``` error: unable to push to unqualified destination: the_remote_branch The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref. error: failed to pu…
Git: Improve your commits by reviewing changes one-by-one
Git commits should be very deliberate, and only contain changes that you really want to be in there. In order to reduce the chance to accidentally commit something you didn't intent, review your changes before committing.
My preferred way of doing this is
git add -N .
git add -p
Git will now show you all your changes in small chunks and ask you in an interactive mode whether you really want to add them.

How to set git user and email per directory
I am using git at several places: at work, at university, and at home. I want an own git user/email for each of those places, but I don't want to care setting the values each time I create or clone a new repository.
Git allows for setting user/email per repository, globally and system-wide, but I need a fourth dimension: per directory. By setting git environment variables using
ondir, I managed to get exactly what I need.

Use the Git stash without shooting yourself in the foot
The Git stash does not work like a one-slot clipboard and you might shoot yourself in the foot if you pretend otherwise.
In particular
git stash apply does not remove the stashed changes from the stash. That means you will probably apply the wrong stash when you do
git stash apply after a future stashing.
To keep your stash clean, you can use
git stash pop

Couldnt have said it better myself,thanks nisaren...Ill keep posting here trying to get better....!
The best thing you could do to get better with proportion would be to use reference photos as your basis. The more you draw from photos or real life the better you'll get and the more you'll understand how the body fits together. Eventually this allows you to draw easier from memory and you'll start to understand what needs to be fixed and how to fix it. Just keep practicing and don't worry so much about having perfect proportions - instead draw lines that you think look good.
Couldnt have said it better myself,thanks nisaren...Ill keep posting here trying to get better....!
Idk If this is any better,but this time you can see my guidelines and stuff,though it always seems like Im putting the hips/pants...too high,making the crouch look lower?
I did this a few hours after the last,and it seems not thinking about the proportions kind of made it better?IDK,what do u think?
I meant to post this here a week or so ago.
There's not much more I can add after Nisaren's posts. Listen to Nisaren.

Report: Packers to trade or cut Jermichael Finley after season

09:27 AM ET 12.16 | Under the deliberative direction of Ted Thompson, the Green Bay Packers almost never make major decisions until deadlines near. But barring a shocking turn of events in the next month or so, tight end Jermichael Finley is playing his fifth and final season for the team. Sources familiar with the Packers' thinking say the club not only wants to get rid of Finley but has decided to do exactly that in the off-season. It means that if the Packers cannot find a trade partner, they are prepared to release Finley because of financial, competitive and behavioral reasons. There is no way the Packers will pick up the second half of the two-year, $14 million contract they gave Finley in late February, according to sources. Finley hasn't performed anywhere near the sixth-best tight end in the National Football League, which is where he ranks in average salary per year at $7 million. An executive in personnel who conducted a full tape study of Finley last week rated him as the 22nd-best tight end. Coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers seem to have lost some confidence in Finley and have moved toward a more wide receiver-driven attack. The overriding reasons behind the Packers' decision to move on are Finley's contract and his disappointing performance in the last 1 1/2 seasons. But certainly the way Finley has conducted himself over the five years enters the equation as well. There also were deep-rooted questions about the level of respect Finley still had among his teammates and coaches.
Good luck in Arizona, fool.
Good luck in Arizona, fool.
Follow me, into the desert, as desperate as you are.
once again unnamed sources are there to manufacture news. Finley is not going anywhere no matter how badly the media wants to put him on the cowboys or the broncos.

Adios Jermichael. He whines when he doesn't get the ball, then when it's thrown to him, he can't make the catch anyways. Very rarely does A-Rod waste a toss on him anymore. Average blocker and receiver, doesn't warrant a $7 mil paycheck. Ask Brett if the grass is greener on the other side.

A-Rod ------------------->
Gee I'm shocked, get me some medication. Hey, two things. Yes the packers see this guy has sucked that past year and a half but second, they are paying him a ton o dough. The Packers mode, and I don't agree with it but they don't have those deep pocket owners, they have no money to compete. They dumped pro bowlers Jenkins, Well's due to money and lost Collins to injury and tried to replace these guy with undrafted free agents so Finley being dumped is no shock. I applaud them for this call the guy sucks.

Can't imagine why. Great player and teammate. Plus all the charities he belongs to
Key word here is 'was'. He had two decent seasons before being freight trained. Now he is number 22 on the tight end list.

He has character issues, high salary next year, bad hands and blocker, no takers- RELEASE.
His mother was an ****?
Either that or a stunning specimen... which brings into question his father.
Very key....explains the confused look at that bat
And when you get right down to it - he is a bit of a nag.
He was stirring the pot with one of the best QBs in the league... I'd be more surprised if he wasn't released.
He has character issues, high salary next year, bad hands and blocker, no takers- RELEASE.
I can think of a dysfunctional AFC East team with which he'd fit in well.
You can tell it's a weekend when the top poster is a spammer...

|Men's Basketball » Schedule » Roster » News » Coaches » 2013-14 Season Statistics
Capobianco, Carpenter Join Valpo Men's Basketball Program
Thursday, September 01, 2011
Valparaiso men's basketball head coach Bryce Drew announced today that Bobby Capobianco, a 6'9", 250 lb. forward from Loveland, Ohio, has transferred from Indiana University to Valparaiso and has joined the Crusaders' men's basketball program. Capobianco must sit out the 2011-2012 season due to NCAA transfer regulations, and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining beginning with the 2012-2013 campaign.
"Valpo fans are going to love Bobby," said Drew. "He has a great personality, excels in the classroom and has a great deal of skill for a player of his size. We are looking forward to working with him this year to expand his game and to get him comfortable playing in our system. Bobby is going to help our program tremendously in the years to come."
Capobianco appeared in 57 games over his two seasons at Indiana, including making five starts for the Hoosiers as a freshman. The forward totaled 96 points and 112 rebounds with the Hoosiers, setting a career high with eight points as a freshman in a win over Northwestern. Capobianco also reached double figures in rebounding once, pulling down 10 rebounds in just 17 minutes in an Indiana win against George Mason.
Capobianco was highly touted coming out of Loveland H.S., earning a top-100 ranking from ESPN.com in the Class of 2009. He finished his prep career as Loveland's all-time leading scorer, rebounder and shot-blocker, averaging a double-double in each of his final three seasons. Capobianco played in the Ohio North/South All-Star game, and was also chosen to participate in the NBA Players Association camp. He played his AAU basketball for Indiana Elite One.
Drew also announced Thursday that Griffyn Carpenter has joined the Valpo men's basketball program as a walk-on. Carpenter comes to Valpo from Triton [Ind.] H.S., where he led the Trojans as a senior with 19.1 points per game while shooting 57% from the floor. He received Honorable Mention All-State honors from the IBCA as well, as he helped the Trojans to the Class A IHSAA title game.

What Should I Expect to Happen When I Arrive at the Federal Reading Room?
You should familiarize yourself with the following procedures:
- You may read and take notes of Offsite Consequences Analysis (OCA) information. However, you may not remove, photocopy, or otherwise mechanically reproduce OCA Information.
- You may access OCA information for up to 10 facilities per calendar month, without geographic restriction. To do this you must show photo identification issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency such as a driver's license or passport. You will also be asked to sign a certification on a sign-in sheet.

Do I need to make an appointment to visit a Federal Reading Room?
There are two types of Federal Reading Rooms:

Comments On Sep 13, 2010:Arai is by far the best helmet sold in the USA. Many can compare them to the Schuberth (German) but they are not sold in the USA ( for some good reason)! Fit is great but what I like the most is the light weight on my shoulders/neck. I'm a motorcycle Tour Guide and wearing a quality light weight helmet every day on tour makes the "job" even better!

GAFDomain present in phytochromes and cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases.
|SMART accession number:
|Mutations within these domains in PDE6B result in autosomal recessive inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa.
|Interpro abstract (IPR003018):
The GAF domain is present in cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases, adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases and phytochromes [(PUBMED:9433123), (PUBMED:20004158)]. Adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases catalyse ATP and GTP to the second messengers cAMP and cGMP respectively, these products up-regulating catalytic activity by binding to the regulatory GAF domain(s). The opposite hydrolysis reaction is catalysed by phosphodiesterase. cGMP-dependent 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase catalyses the conversion of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate to guanosine 5'-phosphate. Here too, cGMP regulates catalytic activity by GAF-domain binding. Phytochromes are regulatory photoreceptors in plants and bacteria which exist in two thermally-stable states that are reversibly inter-convertible by light: the Pr state absorbs maximally in the red region of the spectrum, while the Pfr state absorbs maximally in the far-red region [(PUBMED:20298248)].
The GAF domain is also found in FhlA (formate hydrogen lyase transcriptional activator) and NifA, a transcriptional activator required for activation of most Nif operons, which are directly involved in nitrogen fixation. NifA interacts with sigma-54 [(PUBMED:1404379)].
|GO function:
|protein binding (GO:0005515)
|Family alignment:
There are 16092 GAF domains in 14178 proteins in SMART's nrdb database.

Parking not available for that time. Please select a different time or try a different location.
46 people recommend parking here 24 left comments
close to where we wanted to go to House of the Blues
Parking was easy. Close to the Toyota Center. Felt safe walking to and from, before and after Rockets game.
Clean and convenient.
I love the ease of this app. Worked like a charm
So great to not worry about driving past full lots downtown-- instead, just knowing exactly where to go with guaranteed spots pre-paid. Awesome and convenient!
Parking was convenient, well lit and very affordable. A walkway connects to the House of Blues so there was no need to cross busy streets. Only drawback with reserved parking was that no one answered the attendant help button to verify our prepaid parking code. We ended up having to walk to the booth and the attendant came over and opened the gate.
This is a large covered, open air garage that is attached to GreenStreet (formerly Houston Pavilions) in downtown Houston. This facility is also the home to Houston House of Blues and you will not have to leave the building to get to HOB. When you enter, take a parking ticket and parking in any space that is not marked "Reserved". When exiting, Buzz for assistance and tell the person who responds your ParkWhiz Unique Identifier Number that is on the top of your ParkWhiz Parking Pass, directly below the QR Code in the upper right corner.
Vehicle height restriction: 80 inches
Managed by LAZ Parking (Houston). This location is a commercial parking garage.
Nearby destinations: Toyota Center, House of Blues (Houston), CenterPoint Energy.
This white facade, 7 level parking garage sits on an entire city block. There is an entrance to this garage is on Clay St. (one way heading East) between Main and Fannin and another entrance on Fannin St (one way heading South) between Clay and Polk. Look for a black sign above the entrance stating "Parking Entrance".

DISA Voice Services Purchases Voice Encryption Device from EADS North America
ECTOCRYP® BLACK units are now deployed at a Defense Enterprise Computing Center; device helps meet requirements for next-generation secure voice services
HERNDON, Va, 22 May 2013
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has signed an agreement with EADS North America to purchase three units of its ECTOCRYP® Black high-capacity secure voice encryption device. The device, which recently was approved for operation by the National Security Agency and evaluated by the Joint Interoperability Test Command, helps DISA meet the U.S. government's requirements for next-generation secure voice services, including communications that are more agile.
Compared to other Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol devices, ECTOCRYP® Black's combination of high capacity, relatively small size and programmability enables options for secure voice communications that previously were not possible.
"Voice communications in the commercial world are quickly evolving, and everything is becoming more mobile," said Sean O'Keefe, EADS North America Chairman and CEO. "ECTOCRYP® Black enables top secret security for sensitive communications without sacrificing the flexibility that end users have grown accustomed to in their personal lives."
DISA will deploy the ECTOCRYP® Black encryption units in two of its Defense Enterprise Computing Centers. EADS North America delivered the units, and supported installation and integration in one of the centers.
With four T1 interfaces that allow for 92 simultaneous individual calls per unit and the ability to store hundreds of cipher keys, ECTOCRYP® Black provides interoperability between classified and unclassified networks to a greater degree than any existing system of its size, as well as potential key management efficiencies. Through the device, users on unclassified networks equipped with Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP)-compliant phones can communicate transparently with secured enclaves and engage in enterprise services, such as secure teleconferencing with multiple locations.
Developed by EADS' Cassidian division as part of a line of programmable cryptographic devices, ECTOCRYP® Black uses a common commercial off-the shelf hardware architecture that can be programmed to accommodate new features and technology standards to provide interoperability with different types of networks as current networks change. For example, when used in conjunction with media gateways, ECTOCRYP® Black gives red enclaves interoperability with both time division multiplexing (TDM) and internet protocol (IP)-based voice systems.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By RENE RODRIGUEZ McClatchy Newspapers
The opening credit "A Walter Hill Film" has not graced movie screens in more than 10 years -- not since the 2002 prison boxing drama "Undisputed" flopped at the box office.
Sylvester Stallone in "Bullet to the Head."
Warner Bros. photos
Sarah Shahi and Sung Kang in director Walter Hill's return to the buddy-cop genre.
"BULLET TO THE HEAD," starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Momoa, Sung Kang, Christian Slater and Sarah Shahi. Directed by Walter Hill. Rated R for strong violence, bloody images, language, some nudity and brief drug use. Running time: 1:31
That movie's failure was the last in a series of commercial calamities that plagued the director of popular and cult hits such as "The Warriors," "The Long Riders" and "Streets of Fire." Over the ensuing decade, Hill continued to produce movies for other people, but seemed destined never to direct another one himself.
Then Sylvester Stallone called.
"Sly said he had been working with another director on this project who didn't work out and wanted to know if I'd be interested," says Hill, 71. "I read the script and said 'I'm in, as long as you perceive the movie to be an homage to action films of the '70s and '80s, and we make it in that spirit -- where the engine of the film is certainly not the story, which is preposterous, but the ethical stances of the two lead characters and their opposite world views."
In other words, Hill wanted to make a buddy-cop movie -- not a satire or homage, like Kevin Smith's "Cop Out" or Stallone's own "The Expendables," but the genuine article, like "48 Hrs." or "Red Heat," two of Hill's previous hits.
The result, "Bullet to the Head," which opens Friday, is based on Alexis Nolent's graphic novel and centers on the relationship between a jacket-and-tie wearing hit man (Stallone) and a by-the-book Washington police officer (Sung Kang) who team up to bring down a New Orleans crime syndicate.
Stallone is a ruthless, methodical killer (his only rule: no women or children). Kang is a straight-arrow guy with a strict moral code. The two are forced to work together to battle a common foe, creating a grey zone where each man is forced to bend his standards a bit. They're not bad guys, but their methods are a little questionable.
Hill says he has always been interested in films whose characters must "go beyond the traditional rules and constraints of society to solve the dilemmas they find themselves in." That's the prevailing theme of nearly all his movies. In 1981's "Southern Comfort," members of the National Guard must resort to murder to survive a training weekend in the Louisiana bayou. In 1987's "Extreme Prejudice," a Texas Ranger resorts to illegal tactics to take down a drug dealer. In "The Driver," an obsessed detective seeks the help of a gang of bank robbers to catch a getaway driver-for-hire.
"Stallone's (hit man) is not a character to be imitated or admired," Hill says. "But he is a character who is brutally honest about the world he lives in. And the people he is assigned to kill are not exactly exemplars of society. But the critical scene in the movie that breaks ground is when he kills (a villain) who they could have arrested instead. The policeman says 'You can't do that.' And Stallone says 'At least I shot him quickly and put him out of his misery. Most of the people I know would do it slow to get even.' That's the point where the differing philosophies of the two men crash into each other. Who's right in that situation? You'd have to be Aristotle to figure it out. But Sly definitely does not represent the normal standards of bourgeois society. Is it fair for a movie to give that point of view an articulation?
"It's like when I did 'The Warriors,"' he says of the 1979 film that spawned gang fights and shootings inside theaters. "I wasn't trying to romanticize gangs. But people often see gangs as terrorist wolf packs who are loose in the city and quite often do terrible things. But if you really examine the gang psychology, they're almost all defensive organizations who have come together because they perceive themselves to be in danger by the world around them. So they come together for their own personal safety and form a bond, a family."

Manchester City winger Omar Elabdellaoui has returned to the Etihad Stadium early from his season-long loan at Feyenoord.
The 21-year-old joined the Eredivisie outfit in July, but he only made five appearances during his time in Holland.
Elabdellaoui, who is yet to make his first-team debut for City, signed a new two-year contract with the English champions in the summer.
Rumours are circulating that the player is closing in on a new loan deal with Bundesliga 2 side Eintracht Braunschweig.

[SP354] Detectives and Spies: Popular Culture in Spanish-American Fiction A consideration of how the classic detective story has permeated the realm of high or respectable art, and, in particular, how writers such as Bioy Casares, Borges, García Márquez, Leñero, Padura Fuentes, Puig, Sábato, Valenzuela, and Vargas Llosa have simultaneously appropriated and subverted the genre. While focused on the function of parody and intertextual relations, and on the distinction between the mimetic and the reflexive modes, the course will provide a framework to address questions of ideology, community, gender, sex, and sexuality. Previously offered as Spanish 398. Prerequisite: A 200-level literature course in Spanish. Four credit hours. L.
[SP371] The Colonial Experience: European and Amerindian Responses Close readings of representative primary documents and iconography from throughout the Spanish and Portuguese empires that were produced to report, understand, legislate, and record various dimensions of the encounter between Europe and the New World during the 16th and 17th centuries. Emphasizes efforts by Europeans and Amerindians to control the memory of events and to position themselves in colonial societies. Students will explore texts and cultural productions used to exert dominance or resistance during a specific historical context, become critical readers of primary documents, and engage with key issues of colonial literature. Prerequisite: A 200-level literature course. Four credit hours. L.
SP397Af A Good Wife: Politics of Marriage in Early Modern Spanish Literature An examination of a broad selection of both canonical and non-canonical texts in several genres by early modern Spanish writers with a specific focus on the ideological underpinnings of marriage, both secular and sacred, and the social construction of female gender roles. We will consider how works by both male and female authors challenge or privilege dominant patriarchal definitions of "a good wife." In the process, we will address questions of female desire, sexuality, the rhetoric of eroticism, heteronormativity, social class, and women's literacy. Prerequisite: A 200-level literature course. Four credit hours. SASAKI
SP397Bf The Diasporic Imagination: Cubans Beyond Cuba An examination of the cultural production of Cubans living in the diaspora after the 1959 revolution. Representative works in several genres by authors such as Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Campo, Lourdes Casal, Dolores Prida, Nilo Cruz, Mayra Montero, Achy Obejas, Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Sonia Rivera Valdés, Guillermo Rosales, and Zoé Valdés. Topics will include the traumas of migration, the politics of exile, the workings of memory and nostalgia, the fantasies of return, the hybridization of culture, and the class, generational, gender, linguistic, political, racial, and sexual diversity of Cubans beyond Cuba. Prerequisite: A 200-level literature course. Four credit hours. OLIVARES
SP398s Censorship and Comedy in Spain Uses recent Spanish film to explore themes of censorship and comedy in Spain from the early stages of the dictatorship to the present. While official governmental censorship ends with Franco's death and the transition to democracy, censorship of thought and speech persists in many subtle forms. What are the ways comedy is used to combat such censorship? How does comedy express something inexpressible? How do we come to think of something as comedic anyway? Censorship and comedy are analyzed as discrete phenomena and working in tandem, often working through the other to paint a picture of contemporary Spanish cinema and culture. Prerequisite: A 200-level literature course. Four credit hours. ALLBRITTON
SP483f, 484s Senior Honors Thesis The senior honors thesis will be undertaken in addition to all required courses for the major; it does not replace any part of the major.

Prerequisite: A 3.7 or higher major average and an overall GPA of 3.5 or higher at the end of the junior year and permission of the department. Three credit hours. FACULTY
SP491f, 492s Independent Study Individual projects in areas where the student has demonstrated the interest and competence necessary for independent work. Cannot substitute for formal course work toward the major. Prerequisite: Permission of the department chair. Two to four credit hours. FACULTY
SP493s Seminar: Andean Colonial World An examination of narratives from the Andean Colonial period: Cristobal de Mena, Pedro Cieza de Leon, Pedro de Sarmiento, Titu Cusi Yupanqui, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, and Bernabé Cobo. Exposes students to 16th- and 17th-century language and images and to the challenges of producing critical editions of colonial manuscripts. Involves close readings of primary sources and hones critical thinking and interpretative skills. Topics include empire, conquest, representation, identity, memory, food, and nature. Requires weekly responses, short presentations, and a final research paper. Prerequisite: Senior standing and a 300-level literature course. Four credit hours. L, U. MILLONES
